Why running bamboo is a problem in Didcot
On Didcot properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Didcot's extensive former power station site and dense railway junction land have proved fertile ground for knotweed, which also spreads along the nearby Ladygrove Brook and the Great Western main line embankments.
